Black Caraway (Nigella) Seeds
Essential Spice Nigella seeds are often seen on Turkish bread and in Indian naan breads because their flavor complements carbohydrates so well. Nigella is an essential ingredient in the Indian five seed spice blend panch phora. Lightly roasting or frying the seeds in a little oil before adding to recipes tends to bring out the nutty flavor and reduces some of its metallic sharpness.
